Letters Patent No.95,553, dated Octoberl 5, 1869.

To all whom 'it may concern.-

l Be it known that I, LYMAN M. BA'rns,'of Jackson, in the county of Jackson, and State of Michigan, have 1nvented certain new and useful Improvements in `springs for Bed-Bottoms; and I do herebyvdeclare that :he following'is a full, clear, and exact description yhereof, reference being hadv lrawings, and t-o the' letters 'of reference' marked leron, which form a part of this speciiic'ation, in v ne n Figure lrepresents a side velevation of `my invennon.

My invention consists in the peculiar construction f the base of' the spring when used in combination ith the disk, and connected therewith, substantially s hereinafter described.

A represents a slat, such as is'uscd in bedsteads.-

B is a 'spiral spring, terminating at its lower end 'ith a quadrangular base, C; the said base heilig conued to the slats A by staples rl. 4 l y E represents a disk placed in a horizontal position, 1d contined to the top of spring B by means of' aples s. y

plan View of the slat and baseof spiral to the accompanying h designates a single staple, entering the centre of disk E at its under surface, the object of' which is to connect and hold in position the several springs by means ofa. cord.whioh passes through and is attached to each diskv used in the bedstead.

It will be observed Vthat the top-coil of the spring B is malle horizontal, in order to supp'ort the disk more effectually.

rangular base O, the pressure will be thrown from the centre to near the circumference of the spring, thereby giving the spring greater' strength, and thus preserving its elasticity unimpaired.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim, and desire to secure by Lettersletent, is- 'I a quadrangular the disk E, sub- Tlie spring B, constructed with' base,'when used in combination with stantially as described. A

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own,

I alx my signature, in presence of two witnesses.

LYMAN M. BATES.
